Cough Cool – Lately

Bathetic Records OG Cough Cool just dropped LATLEY, a perfect mesh of tape hiss and shoegaze pop right in time to warm our ears with hot blooded sincerity beating true and real underneath a gauzy haze of warm opiate apathy. Cough Cool seems to come from a parallel universe’s underground sounds, where the earnest textures of Seattle sounds, simplified and stripped of ostentatious riffage, grew up with a sense of psych play and found life in cassette culture instead of MTV. A tried & true Philly dude (peep the cover art, and this bitchin’ vid, if you doubt) Mr. Cool himself nonetheless gives big ups to Jersey’s own Boss, and maybe its just me but I can hear the lo-fi lessons learned from the both bleak and humanist masterpiece Nebraska read through a distorted haze- these jams are slow burners for the winter. Keep warm.
